lyrics
In the midst of this all, I've been whelmed
Can't you see by the lesions formed on the surf?
Surely malice has been the one at the helm;
It absorbed my self-worth
Often one feels gutted by a hurtful word
When I'd ache, you would take
When I'd break, you would flake
And back against the wall, back from the dead
You drowned me, baby
I relearned how to breathe, you're denied a reprieve, 'cause
You've refused to atone, so I go it alone
I'm falling for lonely, you hear?
All the times I've spent in monochrome,
I'd forgotten about spectrums
And I've paid for it all, just like a man,
'Cause that's just the kind of girl I am
Living is heart-breaking, don't you feel ashamed?
I'm submerged on the verge of your urge; it's a dirge
And here we go again, again with the hurt
You've drowned me baby
You say I lost the plot, but it's you who forgot how to love
You've refused to atone, so I go it alone
I've fallen for lonely, is that clear?
"Don't give it up
I heal and hide
Forgive this hurt of mine"

A stellar singer-songwriter. She inspires much of my musical DNA. This album creeps up on you in the best way. Recommended for rainy day listening. Sacha Mullin
